A Washington special says the presi-
lent contemplates an extended tour
81 the west and northwest during the
:oming> summer, leaving in August and
remaining away two months, visiting
;he principal cities OF Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota, and
even extending the trip to San Fran
cisco and Portland. When this dis
patch was shown President Cleveland,
he said he was glad to learn that he
was CONTEMPLATING transcontinental
trip, with a. possible visit to Alaska.
He had never heard of it before, but
presumed it must be true if the news
papers said so. This seems to leave
the matter in doubt, but the general
Impression is probably correct, that
the president will make awestern trip
this season.

Review Of Trade Matters.

r. G. Dunn & Co. in their monthly re-
view OF the trade say: But for labor con-
tests and excessive speculation the outlook
would be entirely satisfactory. Crop
prospects and financial situation have
been improved during the past week. but
the effect OF important strikes is felt more
seriously every week. In spite OF the de-
cline in production prices OF iron have been
weaker during the last week. Wheat
seems weaker, though prices after rising to
nearly 81 for red have not quite declined
to last weeks level. Crop reports from all
directions are favorable, and the accumu-
lation OF $500 cars about Chicago still
loaded, because wheat room is scarce in
elevators, gives point to the observation
that a great quantity OF wheat seems still
to be LETT in farmers hands, but exports
bid fair to fall below those OF last June.

thereafter made, the pension shall com
mence from the date of the filing OF the APP
plication in the pension Office, or from
date OF subsequent dependence. All per-
sons who served three months in the mill

helpless, the pension shall continue durini
the life of said child, or during the perioc
1 Of such disability. The bill imposes a flint

him that ne was really engaged in de-

press declaration. On this subject
we have an interesting, though very
different declaration from another
lawyer, also famous, though Of a
character quite different from Mr..
Lincoln. General BENJAMIN Il. Butler,
in the course OF a lecture before the
students of the law school of the
Boston university has described very
fully his feelings when he finds himself
defending guilty man. Then it is
that he can do his best, much better
than when he is convinced that his
clients innocent. This is the ex-
preston General Butler used to The

that he is guilty than if you believe
